Can someone tell me about this place?

The decor looks like something out of a Pippi Longstocking movie ...

We went last year. They had chicken anus on the menu. If nothing else, ya gotta give it up for that!

i went once for a friend's grad school graduation lunch. her mom ordered everything, so i'm not sure what we were eating. but it all seemed like standard korean-chinese fare, except i thought everything was SO GOOD. it just seemed like typical korean-chinese dishes, but made better than average. but, it was a one time visit. and i'm pretty sure we didn't try the chicken buttholes.

It is a little bit fancier(?) but standard Korean-Chinese fare with funky ambience.
Fancier because quite clean and acoordingly priced. Quite comparable to Yong Gung(Dragon) in k-town.

Any further reports on this place? My mom says they serve Korean-Chinese food that is very popular in the Korean community. Anyone try the ja-jiang-myun or tan-soo-yok? Do they have dry-fried chicken wings?

Had the fried wings a few weeks ago, very tasty. Great ambiance here....

Awesome -- I have a craving for this dish.

This place really disappointed. We had the pan fried seafood chow mein and shrimp with lobster sauce and the food was so bland and average that I wanted to cry. And this place is not cheap, so the combination of below average and expensive made the whole evening an unfortunate choice. The decor is interesting I guess- if you think a hodge podge of tavern-like ambiance mixed with Christmas lights and nutcrackers in August is charming- that's not really why I got out to eat though.

It's supposed to be a Chinese restaurant though it's certainly doesn't have a full traditional Chinese menu. Here's a thread from last year that mentions it.

Glad you asked, because I never tire of pointing out that their specialty is reportedly chicken anuses.
However although I work quite nearby I have never actually tried it.

Really? Last time I had chicken anus was back in Taipei.

Isn't chicken anus a Korean specialty?

Maybe a field trip is in order ...

Chicken Anus is on the menu. Did not order -- sorry hounds

It's popular bar food. You'll find it at various drinking places in Koreatown and OC.
